Three THORPEX legacy projects have been established to focus on three priority research areas:. TIGGE and TIGGE-LAM data will be used to support research related to these projects, plus some of the other WWRP projects.
- Polar prediction project (PPP) focused on improved weather and environmental prediction for polar regions
- Subseasonal to Seasonal (S2S) project - the S2S project has established a similar dataset to TIGGE, but covering longer-range predictions
- High-impact Weather (HI Weather) project, with a focus on five hazard areas: urban flooding, localized extreme wind, wildfire, urban heat & air quality and disruptive winter weather.
Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) – a joint project of WWRP-THORPEX and WCRP to address the challenge of representing convection in global atmospheric models.
